Microsoft Surface sales are "modest" according to Ballmer

Thestreet is reporting that during an interview with French newspaper Le Parisien Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was quoted as saying that Surface tablet sales were "modest".
"When asked about Surface, Steve's use of the term "modest" was in relation to the company's approach in ramping up supply and distribution of Surface with Windows RT, which has only been available via our online store and Microsoft retail and holiday stores in the U.S. and Canada," she wrote, in an email. "While our approach has been modest, Steve notes the reception to the device has been 'fantastic' which is why he also stated that 'soon, it will be available in more countries and in more stores'."
